The ensuing two years are full ol political events, in which he acied a distinguished purl in luvor uf uioderute measures, looking lor substantial relonos iu public ulluirr, ul the same lime thai he discountenanced anarchical prucecdiugs. We rejected repeatedly nil oilers of personal elevation; he refused the ultico uf Grand Marshal, that uf Constable, and that of Lieutenant General, lie repelled the proposition of creating a dictatorship.

POLITICAL. From Hie New Yurk C'unrlsr ns Uiiijiurcr. No. LXXVHI. Washington, June 13, 1834. The Senate have been euKtijfeil, duriii" the Inst three days, nt iiilerv.il-, nu ICxecu-tivo business. The nomination uf Mr Ele vens. in ha-lint been acted upon, Thin procrastination has excited curiosity. It him kit hu opponent! to hope, uud his friendi to tear, that he may he rejected. In thin Hate of uncertainty, the respective parties have spolcen with ureut Ire. il.on of the Senate. I havu studiously avoided iu my letters, ex pressing an opinion ns to the result. Dot percei villi; ns I do, that the "ify authority" pres.es ami their supporters, nr preparing; to assail tho Senate with grent virulence, it is desirable Unit the people should under-stnnd the facts iu the case, ns they really exist. With this view, 1 propose a brief ru .(respect. It was once asserted, nn the floor nf Con gress, hv a very sensible uiiin, (Mr Reed oi Massachusetts) (lint the Speaker of the House, in political importance, was second only to the President of (he United State.. This is true. Ho controls, ill a great measure, ih legislation of the cnuiilrv. fly virion uf his power to appoint committees, he prejudges every siibeet, so far us parly feeling, or parly views, are concerned. In reference tn great national questions, these committees miiy unike voluminous reports. and cense them In he ex(euiVi'ly circulat eil. They nperate upon puhlio npiuiuu. A minority may make ill report also, flea t the people were told that the Committee were ilibHeil, as live to (wo, after investigating all Ihe facts. It is nnt necessary tu pursue the illustratinn. Such are Ibe powers of the Speaker. If he exercises them with discretion nnd forbearance, it is well for the country. If otherwise, Ihe consequences, tu the puhlio interests, nro deleterious.The dominant pnrty, in Iho deliberative body, have a right to lie fairly am! fully represented. But the niinnrity have also rights. There is n perfect propriety in (tie speakers placing on committees a ma jority of his party friend. Hut a single step ht-vonil Hint hue, is wrung in principle. In 1813 31, iMr P. P. Harbour was called in the chnir. This gentleman wnt cunsiilered, in Iho performance nf his duties, an hutiur. able iiiiiii; and yet, an inciiU'iilnl errur, pre. vented his re-election. .Mr Harbour rtinnot bnvo forgotten the circumstance A majority nf tho ll oiso were tariff men. .Mr It arhour's own opinions were welt known. As Speaker, however, it was his ileteriniit-ntion, Hut tho feelings of the budy should bn respecled. Accordingly he appniuted (what he supposed) nt n committee, four tariff and three iiuti-tarilf men. It subsc-qiieutly appeared, however, that one uf the gentlemen, (lir Murlec ol limine isiuiuii whom he considered friendly tu the turilf, was opposed to it. On this ncciision, n purtiun uf tbn House were dissatisfied ; and it is believed, never forgot Ihe error, thus unintentionally coiuuiitled. In IS.'.'i 'Jti Mr U.irbnur was not ru-elcctcd. Iu 1S17 '!!), Mr Stevenson win il cunili-ilate agninst Mr Taylor, anil succeeded by three or four votes. He had presided over thu Virginia House of Delegatus. 1 will nut say (because 1 (In not possess evidence ul the fnct)lhat be entered into any pledges or prumisei as to Ihe manner tu which the coiiiuiitlees should be constituted. Hut 1 will say, that he win very anxious to hu elected; that he, or hit ariciuls fur him, maile a strung impression upon certain Anti-(Jliiitoninu members, that be would avoid the iiiistnkci uf .Mr Dm hour, and that the committees should be formed with a scrupu lous and rigid regard tu impartiality ami moderation. Ifit he in general, but especially during the present session of Congress, been governed by these principles! It it said that iu forming some uf thu must inipurlitiit uoiiiuiittees uf thu Huitse, Mr Steveusun bus buuu regardless uf thu rights of the minority. 1 hu coiiimittee nu 1 est Dittoes, where a Ihuruugh investigation wu- reqnireti, consists ul seven ininiinisirilllou and two iiuti. On 'electiuns, six tu three. fhe Hunk Investigating committee, llvu te twu; and uthers are timilurly constituted It it frequcully'aiu.eil, why have then coin initteet been made to assume such a partisan aspect? Has any undue inlliiunce been brought to operation upon the Speaker? Il eu, from what source lint it emanated? Ami what is its character? 'IMie interrogatories are iu the mouth of every politician iu the oity uf Washingtuu. They have maile an impression upuii rUain, unsophisti cated men. They must be openly met. If they are susceptible uf explanation, let tbut explanation be promptly and frankly given. Without it, the Semite will be held respnu-sihle by the people, fur the act which they are about to perform. 1 have remarked, that nn impression un-fuvoruhlu tu Mr Sleveutun tins been created. There can he nu doubt, that a portion of the denote, iu connuuti with other members ol the community, partake uf this feeling. It is cuutideiitly asserted, Hint Mr Stevenson, long before thu present scdsiou uf Congress coiuuenceiL was iu possession uf the evi dence that ae would be appointed Minister tu reunion; and sniue have gone to far us to aver, that be held an informal comiuissiou. lu itiiother respectable quarter, it is slated, that this assurance appointment was given to him, by the ('resident, previous lo Ins Inst election tu the House of Kepreteiilatives. I his, however, wuuld appear to hu improbable. On ii il bo true, that u high uiiiuled man, would tu trille with the rignt ul election, us to offer himself u ciiiuliilute fur uu elective ulTice, at a nijineut when he bud the certainty ut u rresideiitiul appointment lu a lucrative post in a foreign luud? Wutihl be a. k tho people for their votes, when he had pre-deteruiined, if hu succeeded, tu leave Ibeui unrepresented? Wuuld he tend friends and supporters, uu such a Turn fool errand, ns tu clc cliuuccr lor biiu under tucb circumstances? It would tceiu not. lint if be did, there must buve been tome tecrut ami powerful reusou operating upuu him. What could that be? The npiniuii is gaining ground tbut Mr Stevenson hail pledget uud promises uf a lucrative iippuiutiiient, many luoiitbt since. Connected with these promises, there are suspicious that coudiuoiit existed. JJul whether these suspiciuus be true ur fulse, ii it tils till be eventually proven tbut the Speaker, iu point uf fact, was ulficiullj iu-lormed, previous lo the session ul Cuugress, that he would heuppoiuted tu the ulliuu spoken uf, it cannot full lu nwiikeii the most unpleasant inquiries. It it shall appear, as 1 believe it will, that this olfiuiul iiiinuiiciu-tion was made previout tu hit election in ld3.'J, what will hit constituent! lay ? Uml what will they think? Will they nut ask, Why did you become a candidate? Ami, ul the President, will the nation nut demand-Having made yuur selection uf a Minister lu Duglaiid, iu the beginning uf Iti.l'J, uud no- tiiieil your favorite ul the fact, wh have yuu suspended ttie iiuuiiuatiuii, fur a', least eighteen mouths! Was the boiiurable gen tleman to be consider, d ut un hit gouil behaviour? Upuu Ibis supposed stutuuf lucts, numerous interrogatories prest themselves upon the mind. If the ruiiiorl tu wl.icli 1 have referred aru well fuuuded, uud 1 have Teuton lu apprehend that they are, it it not the duty of tne Senate tu institute an inquiry, and then, act accordingly. The people will expect it, and they should not bu ills-appointed. However unpleasant Ibe tusk, there should be uu shrinking "in thu luidst uf a revolution." The Spt in Wasuimiton. No. I.XXlX.

At uu early day after the S 'tiate had decided on their own course," (in rulerriug tu the President's Protest ) "1 thiuK Air M'Line might lu and will resign Ins utlio'.

I'luit is now done. And yesterday .Mr M'l.niin icudered lu Geu. JuuKsuu, iu writing, his resignatiuii. Tims, my anticipations have, in part, been realized. Il yul reiiinuis lu be si en, whether the reasons he assigns lor this act, nre such us Ins friends have a right tu expect. For myself, 1 entertain no doubt, thai they will ue bruughl beliire the putilic, at a proper lime, in tx-Iriitu. 1 lake il lur granted, that ttiey have been given lu the Executive. If .Ur Van Uuren escapes thu vling of his latu friend, then am I no prophet. The presidential tempest, on French ull'iirs, has entirely subsided. In my Idlers of the 1 1 1 It, 11 h, and 18th of .Hay, I relurrud tu the luriuus and iiugoveruuulc feelings exhibited by Gen. J.icksuii, uu tins subject, and expressed an opinion, that uu legislative action would lake piucu, calculated to intenupl thu coiuiiierci.il iniur- cuiirsa between franco ami tne united States. I iiuw say, that uu the Kith ul .May, Gen. Jicksun u-ed the inusl iiilempu rata language, and declared, in a solemn manner, that hu would trans. ml, on .Holi day the lJth, a warlike message to Congress. For the truth uf this st .lenient, 1 reler lo ilia iionuruuie .ur uruuuyui me Senate. I'he enrvetto which arrived in tho purl of New Vork, brought m explanation Iru.n Iho French King. I no substance ul winch is, that ttie Chambers will convene early iu tho autumn, and undoubtedly will nuke tne necessary appropriations fur carrying the treaty into eil'ucl. This assurance has lulled the sturm al mo w hum iuiusu; a sturui which ought never to have been r lined, and winch every thinking man know must subsido without producing the slightest result. Is it n it si range Uiat in the midst ul tins tornado, wo near uuiiiina more of the great diplomacy ul the admin istration, in negotiating this treaty! lly the French no '.illation our merchants aru tu receive, when the tru tty is carried into ellect, live miliums ol dollars, as a lull ami luiple c.i.npensutimi for lilly-one oiilliou-of dollurs iniury inllicled uu uur cuniuiurce. ts appears by udicial dnciimeuls uu tho U-ulcs of Congress, lly tho llntisli negotiation, we have almoal annihilated uur trad. to the West Indies, in Americnn bottoms. In truth, the whole system of (Jen. Jack-son's administration, in every department, has been a system uf pulilical quackery and juggling. In my last letter, I hintnil nt the pledges snd promises that I believed had been umdo to Mr Stevenson, of the mission to England. There seems to ho no longer any secret on this subject. It is now con fidently, and I have no doubt truly asserted, in ministerial circles, that .Mr Steven son was actually appointed, so lar ns the President's power extended, in March, 18-111, more lluiu a year since; nnd that u copy of the official letter, signed by Edward Livingston, Secretary uf Stale, announcing to In. n the tact, hearing the above date, is no iv beliire the Semite. This letter was trans nilted lo thut body, by Ihe Slute department, in pursuance of a cull lor cer tain iiihmualioii. 1 leave yuu uml yuur renders lo sp.'culato un this development of an unexampled occurrence in the history uf our government. So long as I could speak, un Ibis subject, hypoihciicully, 1 wus disposed to do it with great freedom. Hut since this mortifying, il not degrading event, has become u mailer uf certuiuty, 1 suspend all further comment. 1 have frequently referred to the disgusting sycophancy which some uf the parasites ul poiver exhibit lo.vunls General Jackson. An occurrence uf that kind took place a few days since, when .Mr Clay's resolutions on thu subject of tho d pusits were laid on thu tuble uf the House. As soon as the vote wus taken, an honorable mem her dispatched a messenger to the President with a short note, announcing the joyful tidings thul "the lung agony wus over," and that by shrinking Iroui the vole, the cobweb hands which held the party together might yet bind them lur a snort seiisuu lunger. It was not fur the purpose, however, uf detailing this subserviency that I noticed the circumstance, but with a vinw lu introduce the reply of the President. "Now," exclaimed "the hero of two wars," "let the Suiiutu reject Taney, i they dure!" Whut a melancholy spectacle of imbecility. I perceive that Mr Clay, among, other distinguished members uf Congress, has been invited to participate in the lestivities at Philadelphia on tho anniversary of our Independence. 1 ieum that he has received similar invitations from other parts ul the country. I think, however, that he will decline them ull. Immediately niter the adjournment, he will proceed to join his family in Kentucky, uud will puss through a portiuu of Virginia, on or ubnui Ibe 4th of July. Under such circumstan ces, u may be linrly presumed, that ut some point where the day is celebrated, he will have nu opportuniiy to commingle with lellovv citizens of his native Stale.

If "piBiive obedience andnun-resistance," could have saved any man foin the ruthless attacks of the conspirators, God knows the four last named gentlemen ought to huvo escapee. I will give you my opinion, however, on some ul these points, lint the people will require something more formal, mure authoritative, before they will be satisfied. 1 believe that Mr .McLaue, in September last, was not only determined to resign, but tint he tendered his resignation, mid that he assigned, verbally, his reasons lor so doing. I believe that ho never will be forgiven, by either the President ur Ilis confidential friends, lor the language used on ihut occasion. I believe that hu was solicited by General Jackson, to remain, and permitted tn entertain his own views on particular subjects. I believe that tins n dicy was adopted fir two reasons. First. Because it was pre-deteruiined, thai those views should have no practical effect. Second. Ilecause, politically, it was deemed inexpedient to create another vacancy in the Cabinet, so shortly belure an important session uf Congress, inasmuch as difficulties might arise among the cuudidutes, fiir the vacancy that wuuld thus "happen." I believe that Air .Mcl.aoe has felt hnosell very unciuilortably siluited, during the whole session, notwithstanding the iiiuluul and undiminished esteem uf the President uud Secretary for each nilier. From the facts within my knowledge, I have no doubt, that ns early as .May, Mr McLane was determined not lo permit liiuis. ll tu be nominated to the Senate; and thai he would resign beliire the session terminated. I believe that ill his lute communication In the President ho has said very little; but ihut his reasons fur retiring were previously spread upon the recurd, in dela.l. 1 believe that lie will be compelled, in sell defence, sooner or luler to lay those reasons beliire the community. 1 think they will be suppressed, Until public opinion, on ihe subject, is conclusively formed; and, Iherelbre, wl en published, that they will lose much of the ellect they ought lu pru-ducc.And now, as (here nre to bf three, and possibly four vacancies in the Cabinet, huw are they to be filled! The great object is, "by ami with the advice and consent of the Si'iinlp," to form the new C.binul as a 'uml." Air .McLane and Mr Cuss being disposed of, what is to prevent a comple-lioii of the pfniil There are numerous candidates for the vacant chairs. But it is impossible lo name the successful competi tors. I much (loul t whether at tins mo ment any final decision has been made by Gen. Jackson, iluw then can I give you iho result of such a decision! It is intended by Kendall tbut it shall be a Van Uuren C ibiuet, because this would perpetuate if not extend Ins power and iulluunce. Auiuhg the most prumiiieut i.uuies are, Vlr Forsyth of Georgia, .Mr Polk and Air Grundy uf I'enoess. e, Col. R. M. Johnson, of K"i. lucky, Cul. II. nn. n of Missouri, Mr Itives of Virginia, Mr Dallas and Mr Wil-kiiis ul Pennsylvania, Air Alucy uf New Yurk, fee. Aic. I he persons enumerated are nil members of Congress but three. Mr Uives is not a member. He resigned Ins seat, pledging himself to his peuple, and lo the country, thai ho wuuld ll"t ac cpl un appointment Iroui the President. Cuu he then be considered a cuudidaiu! Wuuld he consent tu fill the oflico uf Secretary of Stale, if iiuminuti d? I should suppose he would not. Hu is, therelore, iu my opinion, mil ol the questiun. J lie next is Air Wallas. I he claims and ervicca uf this gentleman, il Is said, by bis party, havu been amply remune.uleu by Iho Administration. Uu has neither extraordinary talents nor commanding lu ll u nee lo recommend him; and 1 lunik will bo easily elbowed ouiul Hie way. I he la-t is li ivernor Alurcy ut your State. There is already one Nuw-Yurker iu the Cabinet, Air liuiler. Can two be taken! Certainly nut. Hut tins ditliculiy is easily surmounted. .Mr Holler is a liiosl amiable and gentlemanly mini, lu all the pursuits of lile he is tree frum reproach.

POLITICAL. From Hie New Yurk C'unrlsr ns Uiiijiurcr. No. LXXVHI. Washington, June 13, 1834. The Senate have been euKtijfeil, duriii" the Inst three days, nt iiilerv.il-, nu ICxecu-tivo business. The nomination uf Mr Ele vens. in ha-lint been acted upon, Thin procrastination has excited curiosity. It him kit hu opponent! to hope, uud his friendi to tear, that he may he rejected. In thin Hate of uncertainty, the respective parties have spolcen with ureut Ire. il.on of the Senate. I havu studiously avoided iu my letters, ex pressing an opinion ns to the result. Dot percei villi; ns I do, that the "ify authority" pres.es ami their supporters, nr preparing; to assail tho Senate with grent virulence, it is desirable Unit the people should under-stnnd the facts iu the case, ns they really exist. With this view, 1 propose a brief ru .(respect. It was once asserted, nn the floor nf Con gress, hv a very sensible uiiin, (Mr Reed oi Massachusetts) (lint the Speaker of the House, in political importance, was second only to the President of (he United State.. This is true. Ho controls, ill a great measure, ih legislation of the cnuiilrv. fly virion uf his power to appoint committees, he prejudges every siibeet, so far us parly feeling, or parly views, are concerned. In reference tn great national questions, these committees miiy unike voluminous reports. and cense them In he ex(euiVi'ly circulat eil. They nperate upon puhlio npiuiuu. A minority may make ill report also, flea t the people were told that the Committee were ilibHeil, as live to (wo, after investigating all Ihe facts. It is nnt necessary tu pursue the illustratinn. Such are Ibe powers of the Speaker. If he exercises them with discretion nnd forbearance, it is well for the country. If otherwise, Ihe consequences, tu the puhlio interests, nro deleterious.The dominant pnrty, in Iho deliberative body, have a right to lie fairly am! fully represented. But the niinnrity have also rights. There is n perfect propriety in (tie speakers placing on committees a ma jority of his party friend. Hut a single step ht-vonil Hint hue, is wrung in principle. In 1813 31, iMr P. P. Harbour was called in the chnir. This gentleman wnt cunsiilered, in Iho performance nf his duties, an hutiur. able iiiiiii; and yet, an inciiU'iilnl errur, pre. vented his re-election. .Mr Harbour rtinnot bnvo forgotten the circumstance A majority nf tho ll oiso were tariff men. .Mr It arhour's own opinions were welt known. As Speaker, however, it was his ileteriniit-ntion, Hut tho feelings of the budy should bn respecled. Accordingly he appniuted (what he supposed) nt n committee, four tariff and three iiuti-tarilf men. It subsc-qiieutly appeared, however, that one uf the gentlemen, (lir Murlec ol limine isiuiuii whom he considered friendly tu the turilf, was opposed to it. On this ncciision, n purtiun uf tbn House were dissatisfied ; and it is believed, never forgot Ihe error, thus unintentionally coiuuiitled. In IS.'.'i 'Jti Mr U.irbnur was not ru-elcctcd. Iu 1S17 '!!), Mr Stevenson win il cunili-ilate agninst Mr Taylor, anil succeeded by three or four votes. He had presided over thu Virginia House of Delegatus. 1 will nut say (because 1 (In not possess evidence ul the fnct)lhat be entered into any pledges or prumisei as to Ihe manner tu which the coiiiuiitlees should be constituted. Hut 1 will say, that he win very anxious to hu elected; that he, or hit ariciuls fur him, maile a strung impression upon certain Anti-(Jliiitoninu members, that be would avoid the iiiistnkci uf .Mr Dm hour, and that the committees should be formed with a scrupu lous and rigid regard tu impartiality ami moderation. Ifit he in general, but especially during the present session of Congress, been governed by these principles! It it said that iu forming some uf thu must inipurlitiit uoiiiuiittees uf thu Huitse, Mr Steveusun bus buuu regardless uf thu rights of the minority. 1 hu coiiimittee nu 1 est Dittoes, where a Ihuruugh investigation wu- reqnireti, consists ul seven ininiinisirilllou and two iiuti. On 'electiuns, six tu three. fhe Hunk Investigating committee, llvu te twu; and uthers are timilurly constituted It it frequcully'aiu.eil, why have then coin initteet been made to assume such a partisan aspect? Has any undue inlliiunce been brought to operation upon the Speaker? Il eu, from what source lint it emanated? Ami what is its character? 'IMie interrogatories are iu the mouth of every politician iu the oity uf Washingtuu. They have maile an impression upuii rUain, unsophisti cated men. They must be openly met. If they are susceptible uf explanation, let tbut explanation be promptly and frankly given. Without it, the Semite will be held respnu-sihle by the people, fur the act which they are about to perform. 1 have remarked, that nn impression un-fuvoruhlu tu Mr Sleveutun tins been created. There can he nu doubt, that a portion of the denote, iu connuuti with other members ol the community, partake uf this feeling. It is cuutideiitly asserted, Hint Mr Stevenson, long before thu present scdsiou uf Congress coiuuenceiL was iu possession uf the evi dence that ae would be appointed Minister tu reunion; and sniue have gone to far us to aver, that be held an informal comiuissiou. lu itiiother respectable quarter, it is slated, that this assurance appointment was given to him, by the ('resident, previous lo Ins Inst election tu the House of Kepreteiilatives. I his, however, wuuld appear to hu improbable. On ii il bo true, that u high uiiiuled man, would tu trille with the rignt ul election, us to offer himself u ciiiuliilute fur uu elective ulTice, at a nijineut when he bud the certainty ut u rresideiitiul appointment lu a lucrative post in a foreign luud? Wutihl be a. k tho people for their votes, when he had pre-deteruiined, if hu succeeded, tu leave Ibeui unrepresented? Wuuld he tend friends and supporters, uu such a Turn fool errand, ns tu clc cliuuccr lor biiu under tucb circumstances? It would tceiu not. lint if be did, there must buve been tome tecrut ami powerful reusou operating upuu him. What could that be? The npiniuii is gaining ground tbut Mr Stevenson hail pledget uud promises uf a lucrative iippuiutiiient, many luoiitbt since. Connected with these promises, there are suspicious that coudiuoiit existed. JJul whether these suspiciuus be true ur fulse, ii it tils till be eventually proven tbut the Speaker, iu point uf fact, was ulficiullj iu-lormed, previous lo the session ul Cuugress, that he would heuppoiuted tu the ulliuu spoken uf, it cannot full lu nwiikeii the most unpleasant inquiries. It it shall appear, as 1 believe it will, that this olfiuiul iiiinuiiciu-tion was made previout tu hit election in ld3.'J, what will hit constituent! lay ? Uml what will they think? Will they nut ask, Why did you become a candidate?

If the ruiiiorl tu wl.icli 1 have referred aru well fuuuded, uud 1 have Teuton lu apprehend that they are, it it not the duty of tne Senate tu institute an inquiry, and then, act accordingly. The people will expect it, and they should not bu ills-appointed. However unpleasant Ibe tusk, there should be uu shrinking "in thu luidst uf a revolution." The Spt in Wasuimiton. No. I.XXlX.

I'luit is now done. And yesterday .Mr M'l.niin icudered lu Geu. JuuKsuu, iu writing, his resignatiuii. Tims, my anticipations have, in part, been realized. Il yul reiiinuis lu be si en, whether the reasons he assigns lor this act, nre such us Ins friends have a right tu expect. For myself, 1 entertain no doubt, thai they will ue bruughl beliire the putilic, at a proper lime, in tx-Iriitu. 1 lake il lur granted, that ttiey have been given lu the Executive. If .Ur Van Uuren escapes thu vling of his latu friend, then am I no prophet. The presidential tempest, on French ull'iirs, has entirely subsided. In my Idlers of the 1 1 1 It, 11 h, and 18th of .Hay, I relurrud tu the luriuus and iiugoveruuulc feelings exhibited by Gen. J.icksuii, uu tins subject, and expressed an opinion, that uu legislative action would lake piucu, calculated to intenupl thu coiuiiierci.il iniur- cuiirsa between franco ami tne united States. I iiuw say, that uu the Kith ul .May, Gen. Jicksun u-ed the inusl iiilempu rata language, and declared, in a solemn manner, that hu would trans. ml, on .Holi day the lJth, a warlike message to Congress. For the truth uf this st .lenient, 1 reler lo ilia iionuruuie .ur uruuuyui me Senate. I'he enrvetto which arrived in tho purl of New Vork, brought m explanation Iru.n Iho French King. I no substance ul winch is, that ttie Chambers will convene early iu tho autumn, and undoubtedly will nuke tne necessary appropriations fur carrying the treaty into eil'ucl. This assurance has lulled the sturm al mo w hum iuiusu; a sturui which ought never to have been r lined, and winch every thinking man know must subsido without producing the slightest result. Is it n it si range Uiat in the midst ul tins tornado, wo near uuiiiina more of the great diplomacy ul the admin istration, in negotiating this treaty! lly the French no '.illation our merchants aru tu receive, when the tru tty is carried into ellect, live miliums ol dollars, as a lull ami luiple c.i.npensutimi for lilly-one oiilliou-of dollurs iniury inllicled uu uur cuniuiurce. ts appears by udicial dnciimeuls uu tho U-ulcs of Congress, lly tho llntisli negotiation, we have almoal annihilated uur trad. to the West Indies, in Americnn bottoms. In truth, the whole system of (Jen. Jack-son's administration, in every department, has been a system uf pulilical quackery and juggling. In my last letter, I hintnil nt the pledges snd promises that I believed had been umdo to Mr Stevenson, of the mission to England. There seems to ho no longer any secret on this subject. It is now con fidently, and I have no doubt truly asserted, in ministerial circles, that .Mr Steven son was actually appointed, so lar ns the President's power extended, in March, 18-111, more lluiu a year since; nnd that u copy of the official letter, signed by Edward Livingston, Secretary uf Stale, announcing to In. n the tact, hearing the above date, is no iv beliire the Semite. This letter was trans nilted lo thut body, by Ihe Slute department, in pursuance of a cull lor cer tain iiihmualioii. 1 leave yuu uml yuur renders lo sp.'culato un this development of an unexampled occurrence in the history uf our government. So long as I could speak, un Ibis subject, hypoihciicully, 1 wus disposed to do it with great freedom. Hut since this mortifying, il not degrading event, has become u mailer uf certuiuty, 1 suspend all further comment. 1 have frequently referred to the disgusting sycophancy which some uf the parasites ul poiver exhibit lo.vunls General Jackson. An occurrence uf that kind took place a few days since, when .Mr Clay's resolutions on thu subject of tho d pusits were laid on thu tuble uf the House. As soon as the vote wus taken, an honorable mem her dispatched a messenger to the President with a short note, announcing the joyful tidings thul "the lung agony wus over," and that by shrinking Iroui the vole, the cobweb hands which held the party together might yet bind them lur a snort seiisuu lunger. It was not fur the purpose, however, uf detailing this subserviency that I noticed the circumstance, but with a vinw lu introduce the reply of the President. "Now," exclaimed "the hero of two wars," "let the Suiiutu reject Taney, i they dure!" Whut a melancholy spectacle of imbecility. I perceive that Mr Clay, among, other distinguished members uf Congress, has been invited to participate in the lestivities at Philadelphia on tho anniversary of our Independence. 1 ieum that he has received similar invitations from other parts ul the country. I think, however, that he will decline them ull. Immediately niter the adjournment, he will proceed to join his family in Kentucky, uud will puss through a portiuu of Virginia, on or ubnui Ibe 4th of July. Under such circumstan ces, u may be linrly presumed, that ut some point where the day is celebrated, he will have nu opportuniiy to commingle with lellovv citizens of his native Stale.

I will give you my opinion, however, on some ul these points, lint the people will require something more formal, mure authoritative, before they will be satisfied. 1 believe that Mr .McLaue, in September last, was not only determined to resign, but tint he tendered his resignation, mid that he assigned, verbally, his reasons lor so doing. I believe that ho never will be forgiven, by either the President ur Ilis confidential friends, lor the language used on ihut occasion. I believe that hu was solicited by General Jackson, to remain, and permitted tn entertain his own views on particular subjects. I believe that tins n dicy was adopted fir two reasons. First. Because it was pre-deteruiined, thai those views should have no practical effect. Second. Ilecause, politically, it was deemed inexpedient to create another vacancy in the Cabinet, so shortly belure an important session uf Congress, inasmuch as difficulties might arise among the cuudidutes, fiir the vacancy that wuuld thus "happen." I believe that Air .Mcl.aoe has felt hnosell very unciuilortably siluited, during the whole session, notwithstanding the iiiuluul and undiminished esteem uf the President uud Secretary for each nilier. From the facts within my knowledge, I have no doubt, that ns early as .May, Mr McLane was determined not lo permit liiuis. ll tu be nominated to the Senate; and thai he would resign beliire the session terminated. I believe that ill his lute communication In the President ho has said very little; but ihut his reasons fur retiring were previously spread upon the recurd, in dela.l. 1 believe that lie will be compelled, in sell defence, sooner or luler to lay those reasons beliire the community. 1 think they will be suppressed, Until public opinion, on ihe subject, is conclusively formed; and, Iherelbre, wl en published, that they will lose much of the ellect they ought lu pru-ducc.And now, as (here nre to bf three, and possibly four vacancies in the Cabinet, huw are they to be filled! The great object is, "by ami with the advice and consent of the Si'iinlp," to form the new C.binul as a 'uml." Air .McLane and Mr Cuss being disposed of, what is to prevent a comple-lioii of the pfniil There are numerous candidates for the vacant chairs. But it is impossible lo name the successful competi tors. I much (loul t whether at tins mo ment any final decision has been made by Gen. Jackson, iluw then can I give you iho result of such a decision! It is intended by Kendall tbut it shall be a Van Uuren C ibiuet, because this would perpetuate if not extend Ins power and iulluunce. Auiuhg the most prumiiieut i.uuies are, Vlr Forsyth of Georgia, .Mr Polk and Air Grundy uf I'enoess. e, Col. R. M. Johnson, of K"i. lucky, Cul. II. nn. n of Missouri, Mr Itives of Virginia, Mr Dallas and Mr Wil-kiiis ul Pennsylvania, Air Alucy uf New Yurk, fee. Aic. I he persons enumerated are nil members of Congress but three. Mr Uives is not a member. He resigned Ins seat, pledging himself to his peuple, and lo the country, thai ho wuuld ll"t ac cpl un appointment Iroui the President. Cuu he then be considered a cuudidaiu! Wuuld he consent tu fill the oflico uf Secretary of Stale, if iiuminuti d? I should suppose he would not. Hu is, therelore, iu my opinion, mil ol the questiun. J lie next is Air Wallas. I he claims and ervicca uf this gentleman, il Is said, by bis party, havu been amply remune.uleu by Iho Administration.
